Programs

Overview

WLIC’s Foundation and International Year One Programs (UTP) offer international students the opportunity to be fully prepared for and begin their university studies. Those looking for a foundation program, begin in Foundation (UTP Stage I). Those ready for university can instead opt for International Year One (UTP Stage II) and complete the equivalent of first year university in a supportive and academically rich environment. After International Year One (UTP Stage II), students enter directly into year 2 of their degree at Laurier.
